1 - No supporting evidence this really happened. Special means? Please, be specific. 2 - Assuming it did, no guarantee the information obtained actually has any use. 3 - Assuming it does, it's been 2 years now, I'm sure the big guys already took measures to prepare this day. If they didn't, they're morons. 4 - the ... Full Comment>>

So China ranks in the most attractive country but lacks talents? Yeah, contradictions, that's how you know you're reading mainland rubbish. The system will never change because it's not about individuals and their life choices, it's about the CCP wants on a Time T. And what the CCP want hasn't changed so much: okay ... Full Comment>>

If not the parents, then the teachers, or the classmates, or just about anyone. That's the way it is meant to work. Rational and properly raised/educated individuals wouldn't tolerate this society and the people in charge. Full Comment>>

Sure, now where can I report such an infringement? Oh, no one knows... yeah thought so. Full Comment>>

They'd just have to find a way to invite a celebrity or an official around for a day. I remember Wuhan University were found to have student brothels, shouldn't be too hard to convince some dear leader. Problem will be fixed in an afternoon. Full Comment>>

Unrelated comment: I wonder how many versions of a story one could get from just asking the locals. Oh no wait, actually the comment is related, this is exactly how this article feels. Full Comment>>

Seventy. On a usually overcrowded attraction. With stiff stairs. Full Comment>>

Most likely someone didn't read the fine prints on their contract. 50M Internet means 50M maximum. Standard practice for ISPs in and out of China and 1/5 isn't the worst ratio I've seen. Full Comment>>

Being a criminal in China is like playing Russian Roulette with a 365 chamber gun. Full Comment>>

So, if I follow this right, visa application process CHECK, border control CHECK, but heh, suddenly local PD shows up and saves the day. Sure sure, that makes perfect sense. Full Comment>>

Sorry, just can't read someone seriously quoting the "5.000 years" and Confucius without laughing. But sure sure he probably knows a great deal. Full Comment>>

Meaning that US courts will seriously take in consideration "evidence" provided by China? Hahahahaha what a jurisprudence. If I were a US citizen I'd have some concerns and questions to ask. Full Comment>>

QQ's topics are getting dumber by the years. Ma Huateng must have hit a very nice deal with the current leadership. Another feel good article that contradicts itself right from the first point. Also, increased numbers of foreigners? Okay, where are the statistics? Full Comment>>

True or not, this would only make this the snowy coat in the tip of the iceberg. Full Comment>>

Many European politicians are corrupt to the bone, both local and central governments. They're just a tad more clever in the strategies they use because they still have the rule of law as a limit. When they get in touch with the mainland way of things, they're mostly thrilled at how easy and exciting it is. Full Comment>>

@ Eorthisio: So far I am not seeing where anyone is questioning the status quo. I'm not seeing the age of sharing coming, and technology isn't a savior of anything by no means. So far, I just see technology as a tool for isolation, projection of fears and comfort. And I'm saying that being a big supporter myself of ... Full Comment>>

@Robk That's why education is being dumbed down as we speak on many countries. 7 billion of self aware individuals just isn't manageable, no matter what. Full Comment>>

Okay, now let's be fair to the Chinese, the real question here is: why would you chose a blog post that has close to zero influence therefore represents nothing and no one, to serve the usual ridiculous contents and stereotypes we all know about already? ECC, seriously, I knew you could get really lazy sometimes, ... Full Comment>>

While mainlanders will probably assume they taught a good lesson, the Honkies will actually be relieved they screwed away, got back their streets and can consider building back a real economy at the expense of greedy landlords. Everyone is sick of the endless Watson's, Sasa's and jewelries everywhere. Full Comment>>

The Singaporean system's efficiency results from it being a glorified toll station turned into a tax heaven. In terms of nation building, that's tutorial level, the one before you actually start playing. And that's about as far as Chinese ever went in 5000 years of history. Full Comment>>

Spoken like a true wumao. You really should talk to your manager and tell him you're interacting with people who actually have some degree of culture here. Alas you looking completely ridiculous. Better, you should ask to be mutated to SCMP, not that you'll look more credible there, but at least all your little ... Full Comment>>

Well the general manager of that glorified toll station... sorry I mean the Glorious Founder of Singapore was yet another adept of treating the Chinese like children (quite literally in fact, just see how the city is ruled). So yeah no wonder the CCP has a fan there. In other circumstances I'm sure he would have been... Full Comment>>

There's an Answer section on this site, you just had to ask really, we would've told you. Full Comment>>

I really want you no harm since I've proven my point already, but really you should stop. It's becoming embarrassing. Full Comment>>
